This bookstore is by appointment only. Not for the adventurous bibliophile and bibliophagist that enjoys discovering new places during their travels. Didn't bother to read the reviews because the pictures still show a location that doesn't exist, and it's never a waste of time to go to any bookstore. Whoever operates this place should make it known on Google they are not a regular bookstore.

I have been buying books from this shop for twenty years. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The stock cannot be beaten in Americana, Literature, and History and this is an excellent place to find an uncommon book for a gift. The owner and his wife are exceptional people, who hosted me by appointment for a few hours. They offered to have me stay as long as I wanted until closing. They are now appointment only, due to the pandemic and their new location, as many similar booksellers have become. This should not be a deterrent! It is certainly worth arranging a trip!

I drove a fair distance from a different state to visit this bookstore. Unfortunately, they aren’t actually open, despite their posted hours. You have to make an appointment and the owners are apparently gone for this week. Would have been nice if they had taken five minutes TO UPDATE THEIR INFORMATION. What a huge waste of time.

Lovely shop, great service, and a wonderful selection. I’ve been meaning to leave a review for a while now but just started recently posting reviews since I have more time on my hands these days.

Surprised this place is still on business. I can see it doing well before that thing called the internet or Maybe before the invention of a car. But if you can go anywhere else then you probably should.

I love this bookshop. I have been shopping there for at least 15 years. Always an excellent and unexpected selection of books. Support local and independent booksellers!

What a beautiful shop! We found some lovely antiquarian books. Friendly service. My only regret is that I don't live closer. Plan to spend at least an afternoon perusing their collection.

As compared to the "Tattered Cover" it is not a 5-star. However...it is a wonder emporium of incredible books, and manuscripts. The "service" may leave something to be desired by the average walk-in. Make no mistake, however, this place has items you couldn't even find in Florean Fortescue's shop in Daigon Alley...if you know who/how to ask, and have the gold for it; of course!

Lovely, classic brick-and-mortar bookstore with lots of vintage and collectible books. I sold a chunk of my collection to this establishment and the owner was friendly and easy-going, and he didn't rush me while we were sorting through the numerous items I had brought in. He even offered me the opportunity to dicker on the initial price that he himself had quoted for the purchase of the stuff I was selling, so he isn't a shark who is out to fleece you, either. The stock is a fascinating selection of literary artifacts in an environment you could get lost in for an afternoon. You may even stumble upon that rarity you have been seeking for years!

As a long time Richmond resident, this lovely independent non chain bookstore is a charm to browse and find unusual books. Having spent many hours doing such, I can recommend it heartily to any bibliophile. A slice of calm and charm and worthy of your patronage.

Amazing place to get books! The owner really knows what they are doing. I'll always shop here and be back often. Thank you for such great selections and service. Well done!
